¿How to recycle an empty cereal box into a Valentine's letterbox?

Cover the cereal box: Draw, cut and paste the box templates you have previously printed on the cereal box, to cover it completely. To recycle a cereal box into a Valentine's letter box, you will have to hide the brand and create your own atmosphere by changing the packaging look. In this tutorial we use a kind of fabric/cloth, but do not hesitate to cover your box with whatever you have on hand (painting, aluminium foil, white foil, toilet or sil paper, pictures... )

Draw a rectangle, on the top middle part of the front side to create the mail slot.

Then, draw 3 lines of a square just under the previous rectangle for the mailbox door.

Using the scissors cut the rectangle and keep it apart and then, cut the 3 lines.

Double a different color sheet of paper.

After that, cut a triangle using the doubled edge in order to form a rhombus shape when unfolding.

Glue the rhombus on the cut rectangle you've kept apart.

Then make 2 holes at the same height: 1 on the swing door and the other one on the fixed part using the puncher Avec la perforatrice, in order to tie them together.

Cut 2 ribbons, 1 for the door and the other one for the signal.

Drill 2 crosses on the narrow side of the box.

Thread the ribbon in both crosses, then in the rectangle hole and then in the button holes.
